We're wandering way off topic here, but most people who use a 
trackpad do one of these, to my observation:

1. Use the index finger to move the pointer, the thumb to press the 
trackpad button, and the left hand to press modifier keys (if they 
need one). The side of the thumb falls naturally over the button when 
your index finger is moving over the trackpad.

2. Turn on the clickable trackpad, and use the index finger to move 
the pointer and to click, drag, and double-click.

Using both hands just for ordinary clicking - one to move the pointer 
and the other to press the trackpad button - seems extremely 
difficult to me, and it wouldn't surprise me if someone who tried to 
use a trackpad that way gave up on it altogether and fled to the 
mouse in disgust. My right hand is cramping up just visualizing it. 
;-) You might, probably would, find one of the above methods easier.

(I myself use SideTrack and have the trackpad configured for 
clickability, and the trackpad button configured for control-click, 
which means I use only index finger and thumb. The corner I use the 
least is configured for command-click [which my browser uses for 
"open this link in a new tab", so I need it a lot].)
